Wide awake

success-846055_1280

My curiosity
Has been cured
The boundaries
Are no longer blurred

For the truth
Has been revealed
All those illusions
No longer concealed

And I’m better
Than before
Finally happy
For what’s in store

What a difference
A few weeks can make
When you’re finally
Wide awake

You…

children-209779_1280

On the hour
Most every day
I know you’re never
Far away

If only in thought
You’re still there
Someone I hold
So very dear

A loyal friend
Sent my way
Someone I think of
Night and day

True friends
Are rare and few
And I’m just so thankful
I have you

Dismal days

sunset-3503929_1280

Dismal days
Are all the craze
Everyone’s living
In a haze
Could this be
Just a phase
Or are we stuck
In a repeating maze
Look at the way
People gaze
So many lost
In a doleful daze
Will we ever find
Those hopeful rays
Or stay prisoners of
Depressive waves
Can we all give
Encouraging praise
Or will morosity
Be what stays
Everyone has a choice
To change their ways
Kindness has always
Been what pays
Can you share
Your love full blaze
There really isn’t time
For delays

The keeper of her heart

man-802062_1280 (1)

He was the grantor
Of wishes
And the bearer
Of love
He was the giver
Of affection
And the maker
Of dreams
He was the bestower
Of kindness
And the producer
Of happiness
But most of all
He was the keeper
Of her heart

Just because…

candles-2550688_1280

He knows the exact way
To pull me out
Whenever the world
Doesn’t want me about

He sees me for me
And loves all my flaws
He accepts who I am
There is no hidden clause

He keeps my secrets
And shares his own
Never making me feel
As if I’m alone

He cares for me
In a way nobody else does
And he does it all
Just because
